slides on Q (aka NQR, Not Quite R).

[Jay Emerson]

Yes, that's right.  However, the background gives an idea of some of
R's current limitations and how other people are thinking about
dealing with them -- or not.  We think that Parrot deserves to at
least be part of the 'sandbox' conversation.  Maybe more.  !_)

BTW, R is #34 on the TIOBE index (hand-wavy 'popularity' based on
search engine hits), only a little below SAS and MATLAB.  Lua is
apparently hot.

Thanks, Jay.

Parrot is discussed on slides 24 and 25 of the 'Chicago.pdf' in that
directory.
